This is an article in PLOS One and the artifact comes from Croatia and is composed of eight talons. Each talon has abrasion and other marks that indicate the bones were strung together.
The talons were from White-tailed Eagles. This is no finch. White-tailed Eagles are monsters and when I see them around humans, I'm convinced they could easily take a human. Now, if this was taken from a live or dead bird cannot be determined but this is impressive and shows that the appreciation of birds goes beyond our own species in our time.
